Too faced natural eye palette




I got this palette a little while ago when I decided to get a nice natural eye palette as thoses are the colours i'm drawn to so i got the too faced natural eye palette .


Pros.........
Non-creasing eye shadows, variety of matte and shimmer eye shadows, pigmentation, cards that are included.
Cons............
Unnecessary packaging, brush, no- mirror.

The packaging..........................
U-D; Heaven, velvet revolver, sexpresso
It’s bulky and big and totally unnecessary. What about saving the planet too faced? Although it is undoubtedly stunning i would have been happier with a slimmer pallete like my urban decay naked palette. And the drawer which is home to that brush should have been cut from the final design as i see no need for it. The brush is basically a dual end brush (a stiff liner and sponge) i wanted to like it but i just couldn’t. It also doesn't have a mirror just a stupid big eye.


L-R; Nude beach, honey pot , cocoa puff
The palette...............
U-D; silk teddy, push up,erotica
The 9 eye shadows are AMAZING, honestly they were pigmented, buttery smooth and they will last for ages. Your 3 main colours are heaven, silk teddy and nude beach and they are a lot bigger than the other 6. My favourite eye shadows would be push up and honey pot.
At £23.00, each eye shadow only costs £2.55, its excellent value!!!!

Would i buy again........?
Yeah, if i ever need to. I’ve had it for ages and it hasn't even got a dip yet!!!

Bourjois effet 3D lipgloss



Hey Honeybees :)

Today i am going to review the Bourjois effet 3D lip gloss (£6.99).  I think by now you are all thinking what is up with this girl and bourjois!!!
 
Good things...........
Variety of colours, applicator and 3D effect

Bad things..............
Lasts at the most 30 mins until the need to reapply.

Packaging...........................
The gloss comes in a long tube with a screw top lid which you unscrew to reveal the lip brush.  The lip brush is an actual brush!!!! Not one of those spongy applicators and also the handle is long which makes it easy to hold.

The lip gloss...........


I chose Brun Rose Academic and the tube is see through so you know how much product you’re gonna get / is left. I absolutely LOVE this colour it’s a nice pink not nude not trashy just the way i like it to be it glides on smoothly and with the lip brush you are left with a nice precise finish. But to my discontent the colour didn't even last an hour :(.



Grade B-


What are your thoughts on 'Bourjois effet 3D lip Gloss' ???

L'oreal infallible eyeliner


Hey,
       Gorgeous !!!




As far as waterproof eyeliners go my favorites are the too-faced lava gloss and the urban decay 24/7 eyeliners.  But as they can be expensive i decided to visit boots for a nice cheap eyeliner that stays put and behold the l'oreal infallible eyeliner (£5.19)

Good things.........
the eyeliner itself , price, staying power, sharpener

Bad things.........
Smudger


What they say...............

Enjoy beautifully defined eyes for up to 16 hours!


The eyeliner..............

Man , does this stuff stay put!!! I put it on at 8am and at 10pm when i was cleaning my makeup off it was still there!  Thats 15  hours , not to shabby!!!  Its retractable which is good as i don't like to keep on sharpening my eyeliners I also love the built in sharpener; at first when I tried to pull the lid off the smudger, I thought I broke it but it turns out that hidden inside was a sharpener :)) speaking of the smudger i HATE it.

 
Would i buy again.........

Yes :)
